Answer:

The water in ocean, lakes and rivers are heated by the Sun, sunlight hits the ocean which is dispersed by the first 1000 meters of the oceans surface. This hot water is mixed with the cold water at the bottom of the ocean by ocean waves and this is the reason why ocean waves are at a regular temperature.

In a lake the water is heated the same way but there is not much water to mix the hot water with the cold so the water in the lake seems hotter than the ocean.

In a river the water keeps on flowing which mixes the hot water with the cold and the temperature remains regular.

Explanation:

Sound is a wave which is created by vibration, and these sound waves can travel in different mediums for example, air, liquid and even solid.

The water in ocean, lakes and rivers are heated by the Sun, sunlight hits the ocean which is dispersed by the first 1000 meters of the oceans surface. This hot water is mixed with the cold water at the bottom of the ocean by ocean waves and this is the reason why ocean waves are at a regular temperature.

Fofino [41]
<span>first thing you need to do is find the area of the circle A=(pi)r^2 You don't know r, but you do know the diameter is 10, and the diameter is twice the radius so r=5 Then plug that into the area formula, and you'll get A=25pi or 78.54 ft^2 If one bag covers 2 ft^2, then divide your area by 2 and round up to get the number of bags of concrete (40)
